About the Role
Contract position based onsite in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (27709), with a duration of 12 months. Pay range: $50–$55/hr.
Responsibilities
- SI/PI Simulation: Run pre- and post-layout 2D/3D simulations (Cadence PowerSI, ADS, HSPICE) to optimize high-speed channels and power distribution networks.
- Manufacturing Troubleshooting: Provide engineering support for operations and production, root-causing high-speed signal failures and yield issues from the factory floor.
- Lab Validation: Use lab equipment (VNA, TDR, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes) to measure S-parameters, impedance, and eye diagrams, correlating physical data with simulations.
- Interface Optimization: Work with high-speed links and interfaces (SerDes, PAM4, NRZ, DDR) to ensure signal compliance and jitter reduction.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with hardware design, test engineering, and manufacturing teams to review layouts, resolve DFM challenges, and validate ECOs.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 3–5 years of relevant experience in signal integrity or hardware design.
- Knowledge of transmission line theory and high-speed circuit fundamentals, with experience using signal-integrity simulation and 2D/3D field-solver tools.
Desired Skills
- Experience with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, TDR, or VNA.
- Experience with IBIS, HSPICE, ADS, MATLAB, Cadence PowerSI AC/DC, or Allegro.
- Exposure to high-speed interfaces and links such as SerDes, LVDS, CML, DDR, NRZ, or PAM4, including high-speed PCB/package development or PI analysis.
Additional Information
This role provides engineering support for operations and manufacturing production. Three years of experience are required.
